Abstract

Lead as a component of air pollution has broad toxic effects and can be detrimental to humans, such as causing abnormalities in kidney function, digestive tract, nervous system, and hematopoietic disorders. Many people carry out their activities on the highway, one of which is an Angkot driver. Drivers who work on the road daily get direct exposure to air pollution, especially from lead (Pb). Therefore they are very vulnerable to the negative effects of lead (Pb). This study aimed to measure blood lead levels as a biomarker of lead contamination in a driving group in Palembang City. The subjects were drivers who had been working for more than 20 years (average 28 years) and the average age was 58 years. Testing blood lead levels using the APHA method and examining erythrocytes leukocytes and platelets using the impedance method and correlation test using the Spearman test. Based on the results of this study, there is a relationship between blood lead levels and erythrocyte (significance: 0.0019) and leukocyte (significance: 0.002) values, but there is no relationship between blood lead levels and platelet values (significance: 0.4), while blood lead levels in drivers are still within the threshold limit (average: 14.9804 µg/L).

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors that increase the risk of developing chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. However, many patients or members of the general public are unaware of these conditions, compounded by issues such as low awareness of the importance of routine health check-ups, particularly laboratory tests for early detection of this metabolic disease. The purpose of this community service activity was to screen blood sugar, uric acid, and cholesterol levels, accompanied by health education as a preventive and promotive measure for the productive age group. The outreach activity was conducted with 38 teachers and education staff at Xaverius 2 Senior High School in Palembang. Its implementation involved several stages: preparation, execution, and evaluation. The results showed that 15 respondents had normal blood pressure, while 23 individuals had hypertension. Regarding cholesterol levels, 14 respondents had cholesterol levels ≥ 200 mg/dL, 4 had uric acid levels ≥ 7.2 mg/dL, and 3 had blood sugar levels > 150 mg/dL.
